These rolls were made for my meatball subs I will be making this week, however, in the meantime, they made a great sub sandwich!

Ingredients

• 5 teaspoons dry active yeast (2 pkgs)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 cups water, about 110 degrees (blood warm)
  
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 6-7 cups all-purpose flour
• cornmeal
  
• 1 egg white
• sesame seed (optional) I didn't use
  

Directions

• Dissolve sugar in water & add yeast to proof.
• Rest one to two minutes.
• Melt butter.
• Stir melted butter & salt into yeast mixture.
• Mix in flour, 1 cup at a time until desired consistency is reached (not too sticky to the touch but with plenty of give)
• Knead until VERY well developed, about 10-12 minutes (important!)
• Cover with plastic wrap and let stand until doubled in bulk (approx 40 minutes).
• Lightly dust a small amount of corn meal over well-greased pans/Silpat, roll your dough into long, thin "logs" & place about 3" apart on the pans.
• Slash each loaf every inch & a half with a knife, brush with egg white & sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
• Let double in size.
• Bake in a 400°F oven until golden brown.
